We would have a veteren replacement for him at DE, a veteren at DT, Brian Dawkins at FS allowing Godfrey 2 or 3 years to acclimate better to the position, a beast of a up and coming rookie replacement for him at DE in Everette Brown, and a punt returner....

I think that sounds like a more complete #1 Beason- #2 Dawkins - #3 Chris Harris defensive team than a #1 Julius Peppers -#2 Beason - #3 Chris Harris defensive team.

Can you imagine having had Dawkins co-leading our defense and coming out on gamedays for the next 2 or 3 seasons?

EDIT: Not even nessasarily Dawkins, and also i should have said "not re-signed" in the title instead of "cut"

I heard this rumor that Free Agents are actually people that make their own decisions and just because you have cap space doesn't automatically mean they'll sign with you.

But then again, I'm sure they would have been lining up to jump on board after our triumphant playoff run last season.

OR if he would have signed the tender, then we could have discussed trade options, or extended him. then signed free agents

Yea, or that. as it stands I can't believe he is a captain seeing as how he soley f**ked teh depth of our Defense.

Brady takes a paycut to win more super bowls...

Peppers makes so much he constricts his team efforts to even help him on the defensive line.

What veteran replacement at DE would we have had a shot at?

And are you aware that Philadelphia schemed with an eye towards masking Dawkins' deficiencies in coverage? If we wanted to find an older, slow guy with leadership who can hit hard, why not get Derrick Brooks and covert him? He would be just as effective.

I'm just curious...

Or if he wouldn't have been so quick to react to the Panther's loss...

i cant believe we sacrificed the well-being of the team for one guy. I know some people on the team were pissed. he better bring it this season after the fiasco he put the team through. if there isn't a salary cap then FA's get cut in half. and that includes Peppers. 3 tags, and RAs get extended 2 or 3 years.

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda. All of this is speculation and completely unfounded. These kind of discussions are useless and rehash what we have debated all spring and summer. No one knows what would have happened if we would have taken a different path and frankly can't accurately predict anything.

Now is the time to see what happens and how he plays. There will be plenty of time for congratulations or recriminations based on the results of the defense and his production.

I am ready for some football!!!!

Yeah 'cause you know more than Peppers' teammates that work with him every day. Please :rolleyes:

I love Brian Dawkins, and they say hindsight is 20/20, but your scenario sounds a lot like wishful thinking. Name the veteran DE we could have signed and the veteran DT available AFTER Kemo went down as well as the punt returner who was also available. You have hindsight on your side, so at least name the players who would have been available.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
